Ingredients

• 300 g tagliatelle pasta
• 2 pcs chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 pcs garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pc onion, finely chopped
• 150 g mushrooms, sliced
• 250 ml heavy cream
• 150 ml chicken stock
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
• 100 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, chicken stock, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Add the grated parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to combine.

Step 10

In a large ovenproof baking dish, combine the cooked tagliatelle with the chicken and sauce, mixing well.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta mixture, ensuring an even layer.

Step 12

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 14

Serve the Tagliatelle and Chicken Bake hot, paired with a fresh green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
